[Insight-developers] Adding C# wrapping to SimpleITK, then ITKv4

[Dan Mueller]

Hi Alex,

This sounds great. I'm happy to help wherever I can. Please feel free
to send the original WrapITK enhancement proposal off-list.

So far I have concentrated on refactoring the FindCSharp and UseCSharp
CMake module files which are part of GDCM (see
http://www.itk.org/Bug/view.php?id=7918). I will share this on my
SimpleITK fork soon. Once these are in place, most of the work will be
writing typemaps/etc in the SWIG interface file.

Please keep me informed.

Cheers, Dan
